Latest News

[Satellite TODAY 05-06-13] iDirect Government Technologies (iGT) has launched a new Airborne In-Flight Monitoring System (AIMS) for secure connectivity and monitoring satcom functions while in flight. The solution provides situational awareness and enables reliable command, control and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) operations. iGT’s AIMS displays locally to the communications officer on board, providing the real-time position of the aircraft and information on when it is leaving one satellite coverage area and entering another.

iGT is also launching its Evolution 8000 series airborne enclosure (e8000 AE) based on a 4MCU ARINC variant for permanent integration on aircraft. Compliant with DO 160 certifications and the highest military security requirements, the e8000 AE provides network connections for high-speed Communications on the Move (COTM) applications. The router enables constant connectivity between manned and unmanned aircraft for uninterrupted command and control communications between theaters, ISR applications and the transmission of high-definition imagery from the aircraft to soldiers on the ground. The e8000 AE joins iGT’s existing 19-inch rack-mountable airborne remote, the e8000 AR XL.
